Why I Nearly Spewed Tea on My Computer

This morning, after a conference call, I received an email with an attachment from one of the board members on a group I support.  He'd been on the board for six years, termed off, and has now been re-elected.  He's a Ph.D., and serves as an administrative director for a hospital in San Diego.  Here's how part of our email exchange went:

 

Ph.D. - "It was great reconnecting.  I look forward to seeing you soon."

 

Me - "Got it!  Thanks!"

 

Ph.D. - "kewl"

 

Now, the cup of tea was on its way to my mouth as I opened this email.  And the image of this 50-ish fellow typing out "kewl" actually made me LOL.  (No, I did not literally say, "LOL."  Though I've been present when one of my friends did.)

 

Anyway...  I responded with the only suitable reply:  "Word."
